Iran boosting Iron Ore Pellet Production

Iran’s largest steel producer has completed the installation of a new 5-million-mt/year iron ore pelletizing plant in Sangan, and is ready to start commissioning after the final testing within the coming days.

According to a report from Platts, another Mobarakeh Steel Company (MSC) project — a 5 million mt/year iron ore concentrating plant also in the northeast of Iran — is expected to be completed by March 2018.
